I can’t get enough of Brock Forsblom‘s daringly vibrant and maximalist style so I am sharing a couple of other projects from his portfolio. This first one is an Upper West Side garden apartment and the second is a West Side pied-à-terre. Fabulous colours. (Photos: Annie Schlechter)
I love this house. I love everything about it. I might have tried to go more traditional in the kitchen with lots of furniture pieces to make it look really old school. Otherwise this house is pretty much perfect. A house of three parts; a Georgian house, a former bakery, and cart barn, all centred around a mature walled garden, and cleverly stitched together to form an attractive home. Stretching to almost 3,500 sq ft, the property also includes two creative studios. Another gem of a location home located in Bedfordshire, a county in the East of England, available via Shoot Factory.
Courtnay Tartt Elias of Creative Tonic (based in Houston) is all about colour and pattern and drama. Everyday moments are celebrated, more is splendidly more + unexpected details are waiting to be discovered around every corner. Color is essential to my process. Our world is a vibrant place and, for as long as I can remember, I’ve felt compelled to weave brilliance into my surroundings. I founded Creative Tonic in 2006 with a passion for composing layered environments that invite celebration. With a fearless use of color and decidedly inventive flair… Brilliant living begins here.

I love the creativity and open plan of this apartment in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. Unlike the usual parent-child space planning, which seeks to fill every place to meet the needs of all family members, here the designer chose the “children’s perspective” as the theme, supplemented by the needs of adults. The designer seeks to make a blank canvas from the spacious multi-layer space, and add a little bit of colorful pigment that is easy to mix to match to every room so that the little master can over time gradually fill in the colors and complete the mosaic with his own personality. In order to allow the children who have been at home for a long time more freedom, we decided to abandon the original house structure and adopt an open layout. This allows every corner of the room to play a different mission. It is a self-contained living space that can be controlled by the child independently. Designed by HAO Design.
Pastel tones, mid century accents and Palm Spring vibes. Perfect for this tiny Sydney courtyard by Garden Life.
